VeryUtils DropFiles Automation Tool is a File and Folder Watcher software, it can monitor one or more folders for new files. When new files arrive, VeryUtils DropFiles Automation Tool then triggers a custom action, such as running a second program with the new files. This can be used to:
* Pre-process photos as you take them, using Adobe Droplets.
* Automatically process incoming FTP files as they arrive.
* Automatically send files via FTP, SFTP, FTPS after they are dropped in a folder.
* Automatically distil PDF files.
* Automatically Process email attachments when they are saved to disk.
* Automatically Load new files into a database.
* Quickly and easily trigger business processes when files are created.
* and much more!
With File Watcher, files are only processed when they have finished being written to disk - so huge video files (100MB - 10GB or more) will not be processed prematurely.
Files that already exist when File Watcher starts can be processed, this is very handy to pickup files that might have arrived while FileWatcher was not active due to a system restart.
Incoming files can be processed individually.
File Watcher can process only those files that match a file spec (e.g. '*.txt;*.html') and ignore all other files that might arrive at the same time. It can also watch multiple folders at the same time (subfolders are handled also).
File Watcher can also prevent triggering new actions while an old action is still running.
